Part of my series of studies into the beauty of brown and gray feather patterns. The doves are around so much I will get a chance in better light soon. This one has a lot of noise, it was a bit too far away and the light was poor so by the time I cropped and brought up the exposure I had noise. Even the fill flash didn't make up for the poor light.

Poor light, looking up with hazy clouds and sky for background, hand held.

Great idea, a series on feather patterns.

How are the Butterflies doing?

Thanks
Only raised one cat to release, one died on me and 5 I saw on plants disappeared before I got the cage ready and went to get them. Not as many butterflies this year as last, but a lot more bees and birds. Not even very many little skippers. But my plants didn't bloom this year like last. I need to replant and or trim them so they grow new branches and blooms.

Thank you.

I like it also, but when seen larger is has a lot of noise. In fact compared to my 7DII the images have noise and look grainy in larger sizes. In spite of being a newer tech sensor that is supposed to be better in most ways than the one on the 7DII. I may take it to the Canon service center to be checked (only 1/2 hour drive for me).

Looking good, Rob. However, the backround sucks. If you changed it to some sort of urban venue, that would be really cool! I am just messing with you.

I will stick with the hazy overcast sky thank you.

Oh, I corrected your spelling "background" not "backround" - once a teacher always grading everything. And you are welcome.

Join the club my typing and/or spelling gets worse as time goes by. I find myself having to look up words I know I used to spell with no trouble at all.

I have read studies that concluded the ability to look things up instantly causes many people to not learn things in the first place.

I even saw one that cited an engineer with a degree in math who was nearly helpless when his calculator was taken away. He knew all the advanced concepts and formulas but could not remember the multiplication tables.
